Yesterday’s announcement of the full line-up for the Tribeca Film Festival ‘09 includes City Island, which features Emily Mortimer in a small but significant supporting role. It will have its world premiere in the “Encounters” section.

Sponsored by L’Oreal Paris, this collection of world premieres includes ten engaging narrative features and documentaries, with a mixture of dark comedies and lighter fare.

City Island
Vinnie’s been secretly taking acting classes, his daughter’s moonlighting as a stripper, his son’s got a weighty fetish, and mom’s eye is wandering… the Rizzos might get along a lot better if they weren’t keeping so many secrets. Andy Garcia, Julianna Margulies, Emily Mortimer, and Alan Arkin star in this smart and poignant dysfunctional-family comedy, set in unassuming City Island.

The festival runs April 22 - May 3. To find out about screening times and Q&A panels with cast (hopefully Emily will attend) and crew be sure to regularly check the official movie blog.

The project I’m most looking forward to ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ - also starring Ryan Gosling and Patricia Clarkson - has a US release date: October 12, 2007.

According to TV Fodder Emily Mortimer guest-starred in the TV Series ‘30 Rock‘ in the episode ‘Corporate Crush’. She played Phoebe, an employee at Christie’s, who has the odd habit of assuming nobody remembers her, pointing it out, and introducing herself repeatedly. If you live in the US you can still catch it online at the show’s official site.

[edit] As I have just found out, Emily Mortimer will continue to guest-star as Phoebe in at least the next 2 episodes: ‘Cleveland’ (April 19) and ‘Hiatus’ (April 26). The show airs on NBC at 9.00 pm.
